You need to find your own balance between sensitivity to the feelings of others, and your need to work with the spirits. Keep in mind that among indigenous people there are disagreements as to how much is appropriation and how much isn't.
For myself, I tend to do what I feel needs to be done, but with keeping appropriation issues in mind. I feel I can explain what it is I'm doing and why, and why it comes from *my* cultural perspective.
